A nice interpretation of Aloha, a lovely pattern that we all like and there is already a new pattern: Scute. This tile is my favorite of the week, an original composition and combination and beautiful shadowed!!!

Jean, thank you so much for your kindness and support. You were one of the first CZT's I bonded with on-line in the Zentangle community. And through you, I was "virtually"introduced to Amy Smith who was in my CZT seminar. Thank you also for stopping by to check out Shorely on my blog. I really like what you did with Aloha here. Your color choices are perfect and I am drawn to the 3 dimensionality you brought to your Aloha. Mahalo.

We have been friends for a long time Suzanne. I really was thrilled to see you pop up over at the Diva Challenge. Love your tangles. Wish I could meet you one day "down the shore"! Our high school reunion was there, but alas there just aren't the funds for those kinds of trips anymore. Well, there's always the chance at winning the lottery, if only I would remember to play, LOL!

Your Aloha is beautiful Jean. Pink isn't really my color but you use it well and I love it on this tile. And I really like Scute. I'll have to check out the YouTube video that Lily Moon did. That will be fun to see. I actually got my tile done yesterday but I'm so busy I didn't get a chance to get a picture of it until tonight (still not at home). The roof is done on the garage, but we've been working on getting the wood shed fixed up with a new fiberglass roof. The wood shed really took a hit last winter with all the rain and wind, as did the roof, but now we'll be ready for the coming winter. All fun but I'm tired. LOL Have a great week!

Pink isn't my color either, Melena. I have a jar of pens and I tend to grab without looking and go from there. Roofs and sheds just sound like too much work to me. I have decided to just let my house fall down around me. A lot easier that way, LOL!

Somebody pointed out a flower name for Aloha (H..... - never can remember Latin names), but it has the same coloring you are using. But because you already had a pinky tile last week, I have a very strong assumption, you are on a pink trip, Jean. Nevertheless, you succeeded to still draw a very lovely tile for Suzanne. I saw the video and instantly liked Scute, but equally instantly forgot that I wanted to draw it. Your beautiful version reminded me. Thanks, Jean!!

I didn't realize that I had used pink recently, Susie. As I said above, it is not my favorite color. But, it's what I grabbed and it worked. I think I had to add the green to make it less pink. Grid based tangles are often restrictive, to me anyway, so that's why I feel the need to push them a bit. I usually do them right< once, in my sketch book and then I am off to explore.

Oh my... such a lovely aloha tile! It is so wonderfully drawn, and it makes me long for a day wandering the lovely flora of Hawaii! Your scute tile is great! I really like how you used perspective in it's creation.
